Book Description
The Last Séance is an early collection of short stories that reveals Agatha Christie’s interest in the uncanny as well as in crime. Several tales explore séances, spiritualism, and psychological fear, while others are more traditional mysteries built on deception and hidden guilt. Moody and inventive, the collection shows Christie experimenting with atmosphere and suspense before fully settling into the classic detective mode that would later define her career.

 

About Author
Agatha Christie (1890–1976) was a British novelist and short-story writer, widely regarded as the greatest writer of detective fiction of all time. Born in Torquay, England, she began writing during the First World War while working as a nurse, an experience that informed her detailed knowledge of poisons. Christie created two of literature’s most famous detectives, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, and wrote 66 detective novels, 14 short story collections, and the world’s longest-running play, The Mousetrap. Known for her ingenious plots, misdirection, and surprise endings, her works have been translated into more languages than those of any other author except Shakespeare, securing her enduring global legacy.
